RECORD OF PROCEEDINGS
AIR FORCE BOARD FOR CORRECTION OF MILITARY RECORDS
IN THE MATTER OF: DOCKET NUMBER: BC-2012-05462
COUNSEL: NONE
HEARING DESIRED: NO
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT REQUESTS THAT:
His Re-entry (RE) code 4C Approved Involuntary Separation for
Concealment /Physical Standards/Less than 9.0 RGL, be changed
to allow him to reenlist in the Air Force.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT CONTENDS THAT:
The Air Force knew of his flat feet and that he needed special
soles for his right foot, yet he was erroneously discharged.
The applicant did not submit any documents in support of his
request.
The applicants complete submission is at exhibit A.
________________________________________________________________
STATEMENT OF FACTS:
The applicant enlisted in the Regular Air Force on
30 October 2007.
On 5 December 2007, his commander notified him that he was
recommending him for discharge under the provisions of Air Force
Policy Directive (AFPD) 36-32, Military Retirements and
Separations and Air Force Instruction (AFI) 36-3208
Administrative Separation of Airmen, Chapter 5, Section C,
Defective Enlistments. Specifically, the applicant did not meet
the medical requirements to enlist.
On 5 December 2007, the applicant acknowledged receipt of the
commanders intent to discharge him and waived his right to
consult counsel and submit statements in his own behalf.
Subsequent to the file being found legally sufficient the
discharge authority approved the recommendation and directed
that the applicant be discharged with an entry-level separation.
The applicant was discharged effective 11 December 2007 with an
entry level separation and Uncharacterized service. He was
credited with serving 1 month and 12 days on active duty.
AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
AFPC/DPSOA recommends denying the applicants request for an
eligible RE code. DPSOA states the applicant received an
erroneous RE code on his DD 214. His correct RE code is 2C,
Involuntarily Separated with an Honorable Character of Service;
or Entry Level Separation without Characterization of Service.
The RE code 2C applies to all entry level separations without
characterization of service regardless of whether the discharge
was voluntary or involuntary. AFPC/DPSOY will provide applicant
a corrected copy of his DD Form 214 with RE code of 2C, unless
otherwise directed by the Board.
The complete DPSOA evaluation is at Exhibit C.
________________________________________________________________
APPLICANT'S REVIEW OF AIR FORCE EVALUATION:
A copy of the Air Force evaluation was forwarded to the
applicant on 21 December 2012 for review and comment within 30
days (Exhibit D). To date, a response has not been received.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD CONCLUDES THAT:
1. The applicant has exhausted all remedies provided by
existing law or regulations.
2. The application was not timely filed; however, it is in the
interest of justice to excuse the failure to timely file.
3. Insufficient relevant evidence has been presented to
demonstrate the existence of an error or injustice that would
warrant action by the Board. We note the Air Force Office of
primary responsibility (OPR) indicates the applicants currently
assigned RE code of 4C is incorrect and that they will
administratively correct it to reflect 2C unless otherwise
advised by this Board. We concur with the administrative
correction proposed by the OPR since the applicant has not
responded to their advisory opinion indicating an objection to
the administrative correction.. Therefore, in the absence of
evidence to the contrary, we find no basis to recommend
granting the relief sought in this application.
________________________________________________________________
THE BOARD DETERMINES THAT:
The applicant be notified that the evidence presented did not
demonstrate the existence of material error or injustice; that
the application was denied without a personal appearance; and
that the application will only be reconsidered upon the
submission of newly discovered relevant evidence not considered
with this application.
